OVERCOMING HURDLES TO WINNING FRIENDS

In overcoming barriers to winning friends, the issue of prayer as one of the tools we need can’t be overemphasized. A renowned Evangelist once said, “Evangelism without prayer is like an explosive without a detonator”.

What this means is that prayer has an extremely important role to play in winning friends. Undermining such a priceless tool would mean never getting close to our goals of winning friends for the kingdom of God. This explains why Paul told Timothy, “1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time [1Timothy 2:1-6].
